A certain accidental Senator seems to me to be a bit "needy" for attention. He's given to making speeches to an empty Senate chamber (I suppose, to keep his huge [/sarc], accidental voting base appraised of his views on guns, gay marriage, and how awful government really is) but it has now extended to include puff pieces on, for goodness sake, the cats in his life.
While it's not surprising to know he follows the Heinlein line on how cats are a libertarian's preferred pet, many readers of the Guardian piece have noted the irony of the way Senator Blofeld then emphasises the importance of keeping furry libertarian analogues under the strictest control.
Yes, that is true: cats can't be trusted to do the right thing, just like their fur-free political analogues....
